During a monthly protest action by the 'Women of Provocation' group this morning, a participant walked through the Western Wall plaza carrying a Torah scroll deemed invalid for ritual use under Jewish law and waving a Pride flag, causing shock among worshippers. The incident took place at the site administered by the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, according to Channel 14.
This morning, a participant in the monthly protest by the 'Women of Provocation' group — a recurring phenomenon at the Western Wall — carried a Torah scroll deemed invalid for ritual use under Jewish law and waved a Pride flag in the Western Wall plaza. The group's actions have drawn frequent condemnation from traditional worshippers and some religious authorities. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which administers the site, has not issued a statement regarding this specific incident. The Zioneer previously reported on a Reform minyan by the same group that led to altercations with other worshippers on Tuesday morning. The report is based on a single source, Channel 14.
